Introduction: The mother tongue is a spiritual treasure of the nation, and the most important means that expresses the people’s thinking and culture. Teaching the mother tongue in the school education system is aimed not only at providing grammatical knowledge, but also at developing the ability to think correctly, fluently and consistently, expanding students’ vocabulary, and improving their speech culture.

However, today there are several problems in the process of teaching the mother tongue in schools. On one hand, this is related to the effectiveness of teaching methods, and on the other hand, it is closely connected with the general attitude towards language culture in society.

At a time when learning foreign languages is gaining great importance in the context of globalization, it is necessary to further strengthen the prestige and status of the mother tongue. Therefore, improving the process of teaching the mother tongue at school, strengthening students’ love and respect for their native language, and increasing the effectiveness of education based on modern pedagogical approaches are among the most urgent tasks.

Literature review

Scientific work and research conducted on teaching the mother tongue in schools show the relevance of this topic. Sh. Almamatova and M. Mamatqulova in their research highlighted the learning problems that occur in modern lessons and developed proposals to eliminate them. U.B. Bobojonova systematically justified the general didactic and subject-specific methodological principles in mother tongue teaching. S.M. Umarova scientifically substantiated the effectiveness of using an integrative approach in teaching the mother tongue, that is, teaching the language in harmony with other subjects through learning tasks. In the article “Current problems in teaching the mother tongue and literature and ways to solve them” written by Jalil Jalolovich, problems related to the scientific-methodological consistency of textbooks, students’ low literacy level, teachers’ methodological culture, and the material and technical base of schools were widely analyzed. These views show that the number of scientific studies on this topic is increasing and that the topic requires constant research.

Research methods

The research on the topic “Problems in the process of mother tongue teaching at school” was carried out on the basis of the following methods:

Observation method – During the research, mother tongue lessons at school were directly observed, and the organization of the lesson, the level of using interactive methods, students’ activity in the lesson, and their independent thinking skills were studied. Based on the results, recommendations were developed to improve lesson effectiveness.

Survey and interview method – Surveys were conducted among students and teachers. In it, students’ interest in the mother tongue subject, problems in speech culture, difficulties encountered during the lesson, and teachers’ methodological approaches were studied. Interviews were also conducted with teachers and their professional experience was analyzed.

Analysis method – School textbooks, curriculum, methodological guides, practical experiences, and materials related to the activities of advanced teachers were analyzed. Based on these, the effective and weak aspects of the lesson process were identified and directions for improvement were developed.

Results and discussion

The results of the research showed that the main problems in the process of teaching the mother tongue are as follows:

the development of students’ oral and written speech is weak, their vocabulary is limited, and their skills of using grammar rules in practice are low;

the learning process is more focused on theoretical knowledge, and work on text analysis, creative thinking and speech situations is insufficient;

teachers’ pedagogical skills and their aspiration for innovation in choosing methodological approaches are not high everywhere;

due to the large number of students in classes, individual approach is limited;

extracurricular reading culture is weak, and interest in reading fiction is insufficient.

To eliminate these problems, it is necessary to strengthen interactive approaches in teachers’ activities, organize lessons based on practical exercises, increase work with texts that develop independent thinking in students, and involve parents in the process.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the mother tongue is not only a subject that provides grammatical knowledge, but also the main subject that shapes the student’s thinking, worldview, speech and spirituality. Therefore, improving the teaching process of the mother tongue at school is a requirement of the time. Applying modern pedagogical technologies in the lesson, strengthening teachers’ methodological training, increasing students’ love and respect for the language, and establishing work with literary texts will increase the efficiency of education. As a result, the speech culture, thinking capacity and national identity of the future generation will rise.
